[Bug 16136] Requiring a "plugin" for <embed> is not compatible with <embed> pointing to SVG

Specifically, I believe <embed> pointing to SVG creates a child browsing
context in browsers, whereas the current spec text requires that no child
browsing context ever be created for <embed>....

Gecko's behavior for <embed> is that it's only handled via plug-ins (in the "no
child browsing context" sense, though they also happen to be NPAPI plug-ins)
except for "image/svg+xml" when it creates a child browsing context.  I haven't
tested other browsers extensively to see what their behavior is.
